Howard Dean Continues To Troll Trump, Stands By Cocaine Tweet

[UCmeNdc]

One of the most distracting things from last night's debate, outside of Trump's exceptionally angry. pointing tiny fingers, wild gesticulating, and eye rolling was his chronic and extremely noticeable sniffing. And it wasn't just here or there, it was literally dozens of sniffs. Twitter was on fire with ideas, from a cold, to allergies to even..... drugs.

2. I wrote about this yesterday, saying that it wasn't a great idea. The majority of folks here

disagreed with me. But, on MSNBC this morning, over half of the Hillary coverage was that dumbass tweet and Dean's defense of it. We went ballistic when Ghouliani floated those despicable health theories about Clinton, so why is this okay? It was just a big fat distraction when they could've been piling on about the latest Trump outrage. I'm all for gutter fighting, but be smart about it, for chrissakes.

3. I agree completely. We need to drop this immediately.

It is a pointless distraction that does not serve us well. In fact, the potential for it to backfire is significant. Move on and forget about this.

5. The fact that Dean is an M.D.makes it worse. He didn't even make any sense. He insisted that it

would be unethical to diagnose someone over the air, then he proceeded to do just that, suggesting he had "snorted coke or something." WTF?

[unitedwethrive]

6. I didn't hear the actual comments, but certainly an MD would include cocaine use in the

differential diagnosis of an edgy, fidgety, sniffing patient. Did he say it was absolutely cocaine, or just that it could be?

7. I think Dean is playing this *brilliantly*...for how many news cycles

has he gotten out of it.

Fucking *brilliant*

[catbyte]

13. But what's the point? It's not helping Clinton get elected. What's"brilliant" about it? They

could've been twisting the knife into Don the Con even deeper, but the press was hung up on that stupid coke thing, forcing other surrogates to "disavow" Dean's remarks. What good is that? Seriously. What good is it?

[BobbyDrake]

16. Are they talking about one of Trump's ridiculous statements over and over instead? No? GOOD!

Any second of airtime Dean takes up is one that can't be used to soft-peddle a Trump administration onto the public by the media, which is exactly what they'd been doing up until now. Even networks like MSNBC are guilty of this, if you actually listen to even just half of what Chuck Todd and Chris Matthews are saying sometimes.

Turnabout is fair play. Always has been; always will be.

4. Its his opinion

he is a Doctor.....
How many people diagnosed HRC when she had pneumonia?
Still continue to.
I dont want the maggot to be a coke addict, I keep hoping for ebola.

8. Dude, we're doing fine

we don'T need your help

[renate]

9. it was just a nervous tic

Emphasis on the nervous. I love that he was so rattled.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

10. It wasn't sniffing.

It was the mic crackling.

[Democat]

11. Finally a Democrat gets attention from the media instead of Trump

And half of DU runs scared. Can't win.

[OnDoutside]

12. Maybe Trump is battling the Parkinson's that Hillary is supposed to have, with coke ....

[BobbyDrake]

14. I'd like to give a big "Screw you" to David Axelrod over this. While he criticizes Dean

just to fit in with the "cool kid" pundits he's so obviously trying to impress with his even-handedness, he just comes across looking like every other spineless cable talking head bloviator. It makes one wish that the former Democratic campaign operative would criticize the GOP even half as much as he goes after other Democrats.

David Axelrod, you're a sellout. Delete your account.

[skylucy]

18. Is David Axelrod a designated Clinton surrogate? Because if he is , he sure is

a shitty one.

[BobbyDrake]

19. He wears his bitterness over 2008 on his sleeve still, despite winning.

Now he's just trying to fit in with the other dumb pundits.

[pnwmom]

15. Strange that Trump is insisting he doesn't have a cold or allergies. So if it's not that . . .

[bigwillq]

17. Dean should back off the coke angle, it seems like it was a cold (nt)

[louis c]

20. It's not me, but some people say............

There is far more evidence on this subject from Howard Dean than Trump had on Raphael Cruz being involved in JFK's assignation.

I'm just saying. I don't know. I haven't seen a drug test. Some people say.

[TeamPooka]

21. Dean staying on this takes the spotlight off trump and gives the media a chance to attack Democrats.

In my humble opinion.
I would rather stick to proven factual attacks on the big cheetohead

[LAS14]

22. Why not give the media a chance to go after Trump...

.. for unsubstantiated health claims like they've done to Clinton?

Anyway, why is everyone defending Trump? Why not cocaine? It was certainly the first thing that crossed my mind.
